What is a magnetic frequency? What does it mean to be "activated in time"? How does any of that relate to the question?
There is no need for a "hypothesis" here, mp3 is not a mysterious physical phenomenon, it is a well-defined file format, backed by well-understood signal processing.
I’m quite alarmed that I am being virtually thrown under the bus by those who do not have the knowledge on how they program electromagnetic waveforms.
MP3s are stored in bitstrings. It doesn't matter what the medium these bitstrings are stored in.
The question being asked is a question about information, not about physics. So, your response is inapplicable.
I keep reading by commenters that a purely mathematical space which operates on physical movement has no relevance to physical movement vis-a-vis spectral analysis and particularly in how this analyzer - again embedded with recursive electromagnetic charges (software code) - does not affect the original time-sample. I am aware now that MP3 encoding is capturing more information than the analyzer - by design - but how can electromagnetic resonances not be considered in the discussion to warrant continual downvotes?
(I'd like to remind readers that downvotes are not made available for all users, but only those who meet a certain criteria, i.e. those which reflect the general Hacker News community.)
